READING.

Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian

cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, has received much attention
because of its frequent and destructive eruptions. The most
famous of these eruptions occurred in A.D. 79.
The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little
warning of the coming eruption, although one account unearthed
by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong wind had
disturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night. Early
the next morning, the volcano poured a huge river of molten rock
down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the city and filling
the harbor with coagulated lava.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone and
ash rained down on Pompeii. Sparks from the burning ash ignited
the combustible rooftops quickly. Large portions of the city
were destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the
only cause of destruction. Poisonous sulfuric gases saturated
the air. These heavy gases were not buoyant in the atmosphere
and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.
Over the years, excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum have
revealed a great deal about the behavior of the volcano. By
analyzing data, much as a zoologist dissects an animal specimen,
scientists have concluded that the eruption changed large
portions of the area’s geography. For instance, it turned the
Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach
along the Bay of Naples. Meteorologists studying these events
have also concluded that Vesuvius caused a huge tidal wave that
affected the world’s climate.
In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have
been able to study the skeletons of victims by using distilled
water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening the
brittle bones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to
examine the skeletons and draw conclusions about the diet and
habits of the residents. Finally, the excavations at both
Pompeii and Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical
art, such as jewelry made of bronze, which is an alloy of copper
and tin. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its tragic
consequences have provided everyone with a wealth of data about
the effects that volcanoes can have on the surrounding area.
Today, volcanologists can locate and predict eruptions, saving
lives and preventing the destruction of other cities and
cultures.
